Default Doors won't unlock (sometimes)

I have an X-Type 3Ltr 2002 which has been as good as gold till the cold weather this year. Now for some reason I don’t understand the front passenger door sometimes refuses to unlock and the driver’s door can’t be opened from the outside. Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know of a solution?
Bob

Hi Bob, Welcome to the forum. For tech questions please post into the appropriate section, in your case the X-Type forum. You might also want to use the search facility, I think you will find that door lock/unlock issues will have been covered.

For more information about how this Forum works please read the New Member Guidelines.

This section is really only for introductions.

Why not tell us a bit more about yourself, the car, how long you have owned it, why you bought it etc.

All the best,

Hi Bob, welcome to the site
The Cats really don't like the cold, do they?...lol
As for your door locking probs, these were found usually on the earlier X types from those years. The drivers door is a linkage problem and is documented in the X types section quick FAQ link thread I believe. There's also a thread there showing how to remove the door card with pictures that you'll find useful
You may also have problems with your dash air vents popping up and various other small issues?
